INCREDIBLE: The skydivers attached 125 metres of rope to two hot air balloons

Four members of RedBull Skydive team erected a staggering toy made from 125 metres of rope and two hot air balloons.

They then tried out their play thing 2000m off the ground.

Team member Marco Waltenspiel said: “Everyone knows what it’s like on the swing at the playground. You swing as hard as you can and jump off. We wanted to do the same, but on a much bigger scale.”

ADRENALINE: The group are hoping to have broken the record for the world's largest swing

After a few runs, the possibly record-breaking attempt was carried out over Austria.

Dominic Roithmair, who coined the idea, said playing on probably the largest swing ever was "unbelievable".

He added: “I can’t recall any freefall that has such different patterns of movement.”

CRAZY: The group were performing the stunts 2,000m above ground

'The great thing was that you don’t have any off-putting noise. Unlike in a plane, it’s silent in a balloon, you swing out and it starts to swoosh. After the swing it’s quiet again until the noise starts up again.
